Foccacia Fun!

It's Saturday and we made Foccacia!

 

We added more water to see if we could get an even better Foccacia this morning and it worked!It was much more 'spongier' and a great taste.

In fact we are going to add even more next time!

Thanks to Janet for the impressive pics!

 

 

 

 

 



Oat Bread and Foccacia today at the hub!

In the morning we all made Oat Bread using local Mornflake oats! - had a good report back that it was rather delicious! Who needs porridge for breakfast when you can have Oat Bread.

In the afternoon it was a replay of Foccacia for those who hadn't made it before.
We had new 'Bread Heads' attend as well  which makes for a lovely mix of  old and new bakers.
It is always a lovely warm and  chatty atmosphere on these bready occasions.

More Cheese please

                                     A happy bread clubber showing off her great cheese bread!

CHEESE BREAD AND OAT BREAD TODAY!
In the morning the club made CHEESE BREAD a really yummy one especially toasted. One club member said he loves to put jam on his!

The afternoon saw us making OAT BREAD which has a really lovely oaty taste would you believe!

We had yet more new members join us today - we always have a nice sociable get together with 'oldies' helping the 'newbies'.

Seeing Red!

Beetroot Bread AM - Cheese Bread PM!

It was a bready bready day today at the Hub! In the morning everyone made Beetroot Bread and a few extras for the food4maccdirect orders - we call this our Community Bread.
Wow it was bright red!
All the beetroot was bought locally at Cuttleford Farm Congleton where they grow it, we also used local flour from Walk Mill Nr Chester and baked in our tins made in Macclesfield. In the afternoon we made cheesy bread - the flavour wasn't cheesy it was yummy!

Watch this space - more pics to follow!

Another First at the BREAD CLUB HQ!

Yes we are so popular that we have had to hold  a bread club on a Saturday to accomodate all the people that want to make real bread!
There was a real sense of enjoyment and interest today as we talked,mixed, folded, waited, had tea and samples of cheese bread. (Afuture new recipe for the Bread Clubbers!)
The cheese bread went down a storm with lots of oohs, ahhs and mmm's!- thanks Ruth

A Full Day Making Bread

The report in the local Macclesfield Express about the FOOD4MACCDIRECT bread club has brought lots of new Bread Heads keen to make real bread. To cope with that demand we had to have 2 sessions today. The first one with the 'Newbies' (first timers!) making a Quick Yeasted Loaf were they doubled up the recipe and used half the dough for themselves, leaving half the dough to make a Community Loaf to sell through F4M - Brilliant!
In the afternoon the 'Oldies' ( as in they have been a couple of times!) made Chelsea Buns.

A good time was had by all!

Yummy!

Start of a new phase - Community Bread!

Today starts a new phase at f4md Bread Club at Gilchrist Ave in Macclesfield.
10 of us got together to bake 2 loaves each, one of which will be sold through f4md as a Community loaf at the very reasonable price of £1.60, and the other was taken home by the Bread Clubbers!.
We made quick yeasted Wholemeal,Half Wholemeal and half White, and White.
